Guilt laced William's face as he apologized, “I'm extremely sorry, Francesca... You two seem to always
fight because of me.”
“That has nothing to do with you. He's just petty.” Francesca huffed out of irritation. “The two of us are
just friends and nothing else. Plus, I'm taking care of you because I’m treating you as a patient with no
ulterior motives. Yet, he still doesn't trust me.”
A hint of disappointment flashed across William's eyes as he heard what Francesca had said. He was
right to think that Francesca had no feelings for him but only viewed him as a patient and a friend.
However, his lips quickly curled upward into a smile. He turned to look at Francesca. “I suppose his
emotions just got the best of him. He cares a lot about you, so sometimes, he overreacts.”
Francesca did not respond but merely ate her breakfast.
“Francesca...” William looked at her with mixed emotions in his eyes. A hesitant look appeared on his
face.
“What is it?” Francesca could tell something was bothering him.
“Nothing. Enjoy your breakfast! The shrimp dumplings are not bad today. Give it a taste.” William
quickly changed the subject.
Francesca was on edge. “Just spit it out. You're a grown adult, so act like one.”
“I just wanted to say that... if you're involved in this incident, there is a possibility that Danrique will be
involved too.” William looked concerned. “It'll be the end if he’s dragged into this as well.” “What? How
would he be involved?”
Francesca was lost.
“Once Robin reports that you have detected poison in my castle, His Majesty's first reaction will be to
investigate your background. Even though your identity would be a good credential, it might not be
enough to get rid of his bias toward my relatives, unless...”
“Unless they find out I'm Danrique's fiancee?” Francesca finally understood.
William felt regretful. “I'm worried that Robin would reveal that detail. I had hesitated to report it to His
Majesty because I was afraid that it would get you and Danrique involved. I shouldn't have invited you
here.” He sighed.
For a moment, Francesca fell silent and frowned. “It's no big deal if I'm involved in this situation. After
all, I'm a doctor and am here to give you a check-up. Detecting poison can be considered part of my
job as well. There wouldn't be much difference even if my identity is revealed. However, it's not the best
scenario if Danrique is involved. He's in a difficult position in Erihal. Dangers surround him at every
turn. Even though he is capable and calm, I've never done anything for him, and I do not wish to bring
him more burden just because I'm his fiancee.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“I understand.” William nodded profusely. “I'm worried too. Let's just hope Robin did not mention
anything about him.”
Francesca’s expression turned solemn. “I hope so too. But even if he does, it's understandable. After
all, this case had affected more than eighty people. Or perhaps, he only mentions Danrique to protect
me.”
“Quick! Bring me there!” Updated at Draмаnоvеls.cоm
Francesca tagged along beside William. When they reached the entrance, they saw a few men
carrying Robin out of a car.
Robin had been shot in the abdomen. Fresh blood covered his entire body as his face was pale. His
breath was so weak that it was barely palpable.
Francesca immediately rushed forward to stop his bleeding and ordered people to carry him to the
clinic.
